Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids

An introductory video to the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids including clips from OBOD camps, the annual Summer Gathering in Glastonbury, along with footage of the evening's Eisteddfod, and the wonderful ceremony on top of Glastonbury Tor. There are also some lovely interviews with OBOD members about how their Druidry has influenced their lives. For more information about the modern Druid tradition - www.druidry.org

i am taking the Bardic courses from OBOD and it has helped to open my eyes and soul to the world around me. as an upcoming historian and celtic studies major, druidry has inspired me to hold onto our ancestors stories and past and keep the memories alive. i live in the USA and there are no groves near me so i am mostly by myself for any rituals, which is the only downside that i dont get the community that many members share.

[@TheTourmaline57]

This indeed is the Celtic way of life and indeed what we all yearn to be.A tribal people in connection with the natural world.

[@paganmusic]

Yes! It's me, and it's called Spirit of Albion.

[@Anextlomarusgaming]

[@PoitinCZ]

Oh yes, take me there :-) The wee doggie at the end is marvellous!

[@gracecoachcorner5898]

Thank you for upload the video ... amazing life. My love and pray for you all

[@holisticveteranswellness]

Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting to me and it is hard to find exposure on this path in the U.S. (well, besides reading!). I wish we could see more of this in the states. But, great video!

[@AvuryOctober007]

Wish we had this kinda of thing in America.

[@Binky1982]

Beautifully done, thankyou for sharing! :)

[@womblelancs]

Just watching the video makes me feel more relaxed. I hope to get to one of the OBOD camps this year.

[@ancelstierre]

beautiful video, thanks for sharing!

[@Duir1177]

Brilliant video. Made me long for a return to one of the annual gatherings. Sometimes its tough being 3000 miles away. It is a great introduction indeed.

[@jeankuldieu5551]

Inbelievable Beauty !!! This being said, I can't understand much ov thee talking, my english needing a good brush-up , but I'd so love to join in thee feast !..

[@steintanz]

You guys are amazing - keep up the good spirit and deep liveliness. Best greetings, Tim

[@Keechpeach]

Really enjoyed it Being so far from most of the OBODies, we walk a pretty solitary path, but we are still getting so much out of it. Maybe one day we will be able to travel to one of the camps or rituals. Loved the joyful little dog too!

[@TheDavej5068]

I really like this organaztion i am a currently looking to be a Druid thanks to this video

[@armeeuff1]

Looked into all this just recently, and am quite interested in the feeling and the messages and the way to look at life thru the lens that society tries to shield from us for some reason. I will slowly try and see if I can begin an order or group in the area I live in, for there seems to be none at present, but should be. The video was edited quite well. As a talented and creative videographer as well, there will be something that comes from inside of me, just down the road a piece, in support.

[@salistorymaker]

love it!

[@stevenholland6452]

Well done, nice intro - the little dog was the topper, instant smile on my face. Good way to end. ;)

[@lillithremedy]

I'd love to come meet everyone

[@zeldamaniac84]

This is wonderful! I love it!

[@HexNottingham]

LOVE DruidCast! Can't wait for my return to England.

[@henjokongo]

Loved it!

[@VivaLaVieBoheme49]

thats pretty awesome :3

[@indigo_broseph]

Does anyone know how long it would take one to complete the initiatory coursework to reach each level within OBOD, as well as to complete it entirely? Answers to these questions would be well beyond appreciated! ❤️

[@MrBlue2uk]

Awesome video..better music..a huge fan :)

[@fandmorgaine]

Hmmm... It's certainly beautifully made, this video, but I share the sentiment that it's basically a large advert for OBOD, rather thanan informational video. That said, how is one to find a balance between outreach and advertising/marketing? It's a difficulty we face in ADO (another Druid group) as well, and I have to admit we haven't actually found a satisfying resolution to the problem -- which is likely why no one knows who we are!

[@salistorymaker]

is there another eistddfodd in Glastonbury arranged for 2011? I would so love to come x

[@Moonwolf86]

Hey guys just wanted to ask where i migth get my hands on Damh the bards songs ? thank you for you support.

[@TheAntleredPath]

Wonderful video!! Very inspiring and motivational for someone seeking the path of Druidry. Thank you for sharing! /|\

[@Adavur]

1:53 DOUBLE RAINBOW!! Just kidding, beautiful video ;)

[@TheTalisker]

Hello brothers and sisters can someone help me with the song and the band at 5.00 to 6.20. thanx......

[@jajohnson7809]

OBOD and ADF are the largest Druid organizations, aren't they? The difference I believe being that ADF is avowedly Pagan, and considers itself a religion.

[@hutonthehill]

@myrrdinoftheforest Hi Myrrdin, OBOD can be emailed via their website: [e-mail] bright blessings

[@myrrdinoftheforest]

@fandmorgaine can you send me info?

[@ariellynn8363]

I really like Becky's Body/Face Paint is that a tradition in Druidism?
